You have to admire the quotes The Onion makes up and puts in Pete Carroll’s mouth:

“Not only am I sure this team can lose the next three, but we’re going to go to Arlington, lose to whatever team they put in front of us, and bring home a Super Bowl trophy to Seattle,” Carroll told reporters during a press conference Monday. “The question isn’t if we are going to lose, but how much we are going to lose by. I’m predicting 40 or 50 points.”

And this:

“The turning point in our season was definitely being blown out by the Giants in week 9. That’s when I knew this team was Super Bowl material.”

And finally this:

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we were shut out three games in a row in this year’s playoffs,” Carroll added. “I know they say it’s impossible, but trust me, if any team can do it, the Seahawks can.”
